Standardization is the process of determining the exact concentration (molarity) of a solution. Titration is one type of analytical procedure often used in standardization. In a titration, an exact volume of one substance is reacted with a known amount of another substance.The point at which the reaction is complete in a titration is referred to as the endpoint. A chemical substance known as an indicator is used to indicate (signal) the endpoint.The indicator used in this experiment is phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein, an organic compound, is colorless in acidic solution and pink in basic solution. This experiment involves two separate acid-base standardization procedures.In the first standardization the molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) will be determined by titrating a sample of potassium acid phthalate (KHP; HKC8H4O4) with the NaOH.his experiment involves two separate acid-base standardization procedures.

he American Chemical Societyâs Committee on Environmental Improvement deï¬nes standardization as the process of determining the relationship between the signal and the amount of analyte in a sample.1 In Chapter 3 we deï¬ned this relationship as SknS SkCS total A A reag total A A r =+ = +or eeag where S total is the signal, n A is the moles of analyte, C
